What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Casiola's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, all materials bearing the Licensed Marks must meet Casiola's standards and specifications. These materials include items such as stationary, business cards, brochures, apparel, signs, and displays. Franchisees are required to purchase these materials directly from Casiola or from Casiola's designated suppliers.
In addition, all marketing materials used by a Casiola franchisee must comply with Casiola's standards and specifications and must be approved by Casiola before use. Franchisees can market their Casiola business through approved digital media and social media platforms, provided they adhere to Casiola's digital media and social media policies. All branded marketing materials must be purchased from Casiola or its designated exclusive supplier.
Casiola may also require franchisees to exclusively use, at their own cost, Casiola's designated supplier for social and digital media marketing services and to exclusively use Casiola's social media platforms, vendors, and marketing channels. This ensures that all branded materials and marketing efforts align with Casiola's standards and maintain consistency across the franchise system.
